- A named need: List what gifts pay for, like this form's treatment for Nigerian children whose families can't afford cancer care.
- Tribute gifts: Offer gifts in honor or memory of someone, so a loved one's name helps a child get care.
- 100% to the mission: Tell donors 100% of their gift goes to the mission, so it all reaches children facing cancer.

A room where nobody asks you to prove it
Hi [First name],
A lot has happened since you last gave. One moment stays with us.
A member walked into our first meeting after years of explaining a flare-up to people who didn't get it. She left saying it was the first room where nobody asked her to prove she was sick.
Your past gifts are part of why that room exists.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 10 monthly meetings with a trained facilitator and an accessible room, at $100 per meeting.
Would you start us off with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum before the day arrives.

Today: 10 meetings for our peer support group
Hi [First name],
It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day.
Last week, we told you about a member who found a room where nobody asked her to prove she was sick. Today we're raising $1,000 to keep that room open for 10 monthly meetings, and we're at [Total raised] so far.
Here's what a gift covers:
- $25: large-print handouts and a pot of tea for one meeting
- $50: half the room rental for one monthly meeting
- $100: one full meeting, with an accessible room and a trained facilitator
100% of your gift goes to our meetings. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

Your gift keeps that room open. The member who told us nobody asked her to prove she was sick will walk in again next month, ready to swap notes on pacing and flares with people who already get it.
December is coming, and we'll share our year-end appeal soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, here's a link: [Year-end appeal link]
